WHAT WE DO

HANDS of FAVOR offers free professional grooming services and outreach support to homeless and at ­risk people of all ages, including the poor, children, families, elderly, homeless, shut-ins, and veterans. Our goal is to motivate them to become positive, productive citizens of their respective communities.

RESTORE, RENEW, MOTIVATE

A well-groomed appearance has a profound effect on how people feel about themselves, how they are treated by others, and whether they are motivated to seek employment or go to school, or even to be seen in public.
